About Me

I have been working in the Film & Television Industry since 1992.

In Movies, I work primarily as an RF Technician specializing in HD, UHD & 3D Video Transmissions (for Video Assist) for large studio shoots. I am a member of IATSE Local 600 (International Cinematographers Guild) as a 1st Assistant Cameraman.

In Television, I am Engineer-In-Charge for many live TV events ranging from Marathons to Entertainment Shows. As truck EIC, responsible for every aspect of the Video and Audio equipment with overall QC responsibilities required to produce live coverage.

Digital Content Producer for many projects around the World featued in online marketing campaigns, Front Of House and Experience Enhancing Video/ Audio Displays.

I was bought in as a consultant by Warner Bros. to design and build a groundbreaking Digital Wireless Video Assist System. I took RF techniques I'd learned over many years in television and found they could be successfully applied to movies.

Designing and building RF systems for sports coverage such as Marathons and Cycle Races requires multiple systems and techniques to enable rock-solid transmission sometimes in excess of 50 miles!

I was thrown in at the deep end on a BBC show many years ago and handed a camera which I was expected to operate (I was actually there as an engineer)... So I did it - and many, many more times since!
